Top 5 Of The Best Beach Tents For This Year’s Summer

Summers are all about fun and games, and water games dominate highly. There is something inherently freeing about the beach, which is why most people let off their inner child as soon as they hit the water. Life is for the living, no? So, what beach essential do you need to have unlimited fun? Answer: the best beach tent you can find. Let’s find you a keeper.

What Are You Looking For?​

Let’s talk beach tents. In the ancient times, Arab traders moved from place to place to facilitate their trade. You can imagine there were no phones or computers to help them traverse the world to sell their wares, and so they had to do what they had to do. The cruises would lead them to beaches where they would lay their beach tents and take a break before resuming the journey. Commitment.

Fast forward to present day. We have all manner of communication means, but we still yearn for adventure. Do you want to spend the night on a public beach? No biggie, long as you have the best canopy for the beach. Before you buy, pay attention to these tiny details.

Coverage – Think UPF​

The thickest material will not necessarily cut it here. Matter of fact, you may find that it only makes you sweaty and hot without proper coverage. What matters more is the UPF coverage, essentially the measure of how much of the s﻿un’s UV﻿ rays make it through the fabric and to your skin. The best coverage is in the range of UPF 50. That ensures that you are protected from up to 98% of the sun’s rays.​

Material Of The Canopy And The Rods

Most canopies are made of polyester, given its ability to prevent water from entering your beach abode. You want to ensure that your preferred bars are made of steel so that they last as long as the canopy does. Most pop-up canopies need no set-up as long as the small rods can snap out into position. Seeing as they will be subject to enough folding and unfolding, you want them firm and sturdy.

The floor of the tent will be made of the same material as the rest of the canopy, and so you should go for the sturdiest. As we noted, polyester can take a beating so choose it for a durable tent.

Type and Size​

These will be determined by the size of your family and the reason for which you need the tent. If yours is a family of four that only needs this for the random weekend outing, you may choose a large tent that does not necessarily have to be the lightest. If yours is for constant travel, then you want a light tent that will come along with you.

A pop-up tent is ideal for travel seeing as it compresses to this compact unit that you can comfortably carry in a carrying case. The rods are light too. Some of them even come with inbuilt sand pockets, so that is a bonus. It is pretty small, and so most are appropriate for a party of two.

Family tents are yet another popular type, preferred by… families of course! They are usually large enough to accommodate anything from four people. The one thing about them is that they do not give a beach vibe, and so they fit anywhere from the beach to the backyard.

Cabana Beach Tents are yet another type. These are large and spacious, and they resemble a mini football pitch. They are ideal for large families or gatherings that need shielding from the sun. One thing they have over the other types is their resilience. A cabana beach tent is made of sturdy material that will withstand just about anything from the dog’s paws to children’s actions. Naturally, you can use them in other places apart from the beach.

Other Factors That Matter​

Internal pockets are a great asset of any beach tent as they make easy storage for your cards, phones, and keys. Some people will even consider the lack of pockets a deal breaker. Well, it does give you peace of mind knowing your car keys are safe and not in the sand.

Color and budget may not be big deals, as you are better off with an ugly but high-quality beach tent. But then again, do tell, have you ever seen an ugly beach canopy? We thought so. You'll undoubtedly have a budget in mind, but the reason for this review was to give you some of the best beach tents that will not break the bank.
